He had two brothers named Williamand Samuel . He was the youngest of the three children. He died about 1701 in Richmond County, Virginia .

      1692, 2 Dec: Rawleigh TRAVERS of Richmond Co., VA, Gent., one of ye sons of Colo. Wm. TRAVERS late of Rappahannock Co., deced, Whereas my said Father inter alia dyed seized of a certain divident or Tract of lande in Stafford Co. upon ye head of Doeggs Creeke containinge 786 acres of lands as by ye Survey & Pattent will appeare writ Pattent beares date 22 Mar 1677 recorded in ye Secretaries Office and forasmuch as that ye aforesaid Divident of 786 acres of land by dissent in Law came & descended to Samll. of Richmond aforesaid Eldest Brother to me ye said Rawleigh & heir at law to my said Father wch aforesaid Samll. TRAVERSE in consideration of his Brotherly love and naturall affection to me ye said Rawleigh TRAVERSE did sell and sett over in fee simple to me ye said Rawleigh as appeares by his Deed of Conveyance to me executed & recorded in Rappahannock Co. Court records, Now Know yee that I ye said Rawleigh TRAVERSE for ye sume of 5000 poundes of Tobacco in hande paid mee by Wm. LAMBERT of Northumberland Co., Planter, have sold unto ye said Wm. LAMBERT his heires & assignes ye uppermost 200 acres of ye said Divident, bounded begininge alt an old marked pohickorie standings at ye head of Dogues Creeke close by ye Horse Road Cove and against a great branch that is on ye Northeast of said Creeke and extendinge into ye woods accordinge to ye Pattent North West by a line of trees West South West to a Corner tree to bee marked & from thence North East & by East to ye above mentioned pohickorie. Signed Rawleige TRAVERSE. Wits. George BRENT, John PYKE. Rawleigh TRAVERSE doe by these presents authorize my good friende & Kinsman Mr. Rawleigh TRAVERSE of Ocouakeeke in Stafford Co. my true & Lawfull Atturney to acknowledge my Deed of Sale in Stafford Court to William LAMBERT or his Atturney. Signed Taw. TRAVERSE. Wits. George BRENT, John PYKE. Rawleigh TRAVERSE ye Atturney of ye above said Rawleigh TRAVERSE came into Court 14 Dec 1692 and acknowledged ye above said Deed of Sale.

      Mr. Rawleigh Travers, first appears in Virginia, 1653, when he received 300 a. south side Rappahannock; then as witness to a deed in Lancaster Co., 1658. he m. cir., 1640, Elizabeth ---. Was she a Hussey or a Cole? He and his wife Elizabeth executed a dee in Essex Co., 1661. He received, Dec 29, 1662, a pat. for 300 a. W. side Morattico Creek, Lanc'r Co. (L. Bk. V., 147.)

II. 197, he appears as 'Mr. Rawleigh frances', but on p.205 'Mr. Rawleigh Traverse' was excused for sickness, the name 'frances', being evidently a typographical error.
